Patent EP-0348614-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TERRY CHARLES ROBERT
IPC: G06F17/30

Abstract: A shared file environment permits multiple users to read a file that is being updated concurrently. The process maintains N level shadows for a file to allow multiple users to read a file even though that file may be updated by one or more updaters in succession. A reader of a file does not need to wait on an updater of the file nor does the reader see any updates as they are being made. Each reader that opens the file sees the latest committed level of the file; that is, if reader A opens the file for read before updater B commits his changes, then there will exist one level shadow for the file after B commits. The process maintains N level shadows for a file, although only one updater of a file is allowed at a time. A new construct, referred to as the Not Available Yet (NAY) structure, contains entries for all files that are currently open for read. The NAY structure has an entry for each level of a file that is open for read. A counter associated with the entry indicates the number of readers of that level of the file. These entries are anchors for a list of block numbers of shadow blocks that cannot be unallocated because there is at least one reader of that level. A logging procedure allocates and unallocates blocks to track the N-level shadow blocks.

Abstract: A torque detecting apparatus comprises a first magnetic angular sensor (3A, 4A) outputting a sine-wave output (E A1 ) and a cosine-wave output (E B1 ) corresponding to positions of rotation of a rotary drum (2A) being fitted a rotating drive shaft (1). A second magnetic angular sensor (3B, 4B) outputs a sine-wave output (E A2 ) and a cosine-wave output (E B2 ) corresponding to positions of rotation of another rotary drum (2B) being fitted on the rotating drive shaft (1). In case of the respective other output of the sine-wave output or the cosine-wave output of the first or the second magnetic angular sensor is varied while one output of the sine-wave output or the cosine-wave output in the first or the second magnetic angular sensor is not varied, the one output cosine-wave output or the sine-wave output of the first or the second magnetic angular sensor is determined to be faulty and an abnormality signal is delivered by a judging means.

Abstract: Articles of clothing with dirt containing protein should not be heated too quickly in the lye. Stains of this kind are otherwise burnt into the fabric instead of being washed out. Known washing machines with hot-water and cold-water connections control their inflow solenoid valves by means of a programme switch unit and vary the heating capacity by cutting in or cutting off a second heating bar. For this, the hot inflow temperatures must be known and the two solenoid valves must have the same characteristics, since the mixture ratio is otherwise disturbed. The new control device prevents too rapid rates of rise of the mixing-water temperature and always provides mixing-water temperatures matched to the type of clothing and to the load quantity. In the device according to the invention, temperature values ( theta ) variable in time in a microprocessor ( mu  rho ) are detected by means of a temperature-dependent resistance sensor arranged in the mixing water of the lye tub. By a comparison with predetermined limit values, the microprocessor ( mu  rho ) controls the heating (7) of the washing machine and the two solenoid valves (1,2) for cold-water and hot-water connections (K,W) alternately. The device is suitable for washing machines with connections for cold and hot water.

Abstract: The procedure makes it possible to utilise tried and tested and robust components, signal paths and transmitters of an available anti-lock braking system (ABS) in order to obtain an automatically load-dependent braking function acting well below the wheel locking limit. For this purpose, it is proposed also to regulate the brake pressure and hence the distribution of braking at well below the wheel locking limit, in an axle-specific manner, by processing only wheel speed differences as actual values of an electronic brake pressure regulator instead of absolute slips. To compensate changing load situations and properties of the roadway, the precontrollable brake force distribution is itself learnt and adaptively corrected. The same applies to the brake pressure level triggerable at the pedal. The device for accomplishing the procedure consists essentially of components like those which are known from ABS systems. However, they are suitably matched or expanded in terms of software to fulfil the automatically load-dependent braking function. The procedure according to the invention obviates the need for axle load sensors. …<IMAGE>…

Abstract: A color-signal enhancing circuit of the invention comprises a pair of first and second high-pass filters (1,2), a control circuit (3), and a pair of first and second gain controllers (4,5). The high-pass filters (1,2) provide a predetermined frequency region restriction to color differ­ence signals. The control circuit (3) may comprise a first and second gain controllable amplifiers (21,22) which provide a predetermined coefficient to outputs from the high-pass filters (1,2), an adder (8) which adds outputs from the first and second amplifiers (21,22), and a conver­tor (23) which provides to an output of the adder (8) a coefficient calculated in a predetermined operation in accordance with the polarity of input signals inputted thereto. In an alternative arrangement, a pair of the high-pass filters (1,2) may be replaced by a pair of low-­pass filters. The gain control signal is obtained from the information on high frequency components or on low frequen­cy components of color difference signals and, with this single gain control signal, the gains of the color differ­ence signals inputted are controlled, whereby it is possi­ble to enhance color signals in such a way that there will be no appearance of false colors at turning points of color changing.

Abstract: If certain key-operated relays (for example E1 or G1) of a controlling unit must be locked against operation from the operating stations (BP1) or against operation via an automatic mechanism (ZL), corresponding locking markers are stored in the memories of two microcomputers (MC1, MC2) which convert the process control orders of the operating stations and of the automatic system into commands for switching on key-operated relays. During each operating action, the microcomputers check whether a locking marker has been stored for the associated key-operated relay. If this is so, they deny their permission for execution of the command and in the other case they grant relevant permission. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for dispatching work requests in a data storage hierarchy in which directory data is promoted in variable length spans, the use of which are maximised even for work requests entering the work request queue after the span is chosen, is disclosed. A queue of work requests is initially scanned to determine if any requests therein require access to directory data stored in secondary storage within a prescribed proximity of that required by the next request to be dispatched. If such other work requests exist, then directory data in addition to that required by the next request to be dispatched is also promoted. To minimise seek time and rotational latency, the additional data is promoted from secondary storage in a single device I/O cycle. The additional data is chosen by adjusting the outer limits of the span as each work request in queue is scanned. After the actual promotion of the span of data, the existing work request is completed. Upon the ensuing scan of the queue the dispatch of any work requests stored therein and requiring access to data previously promoted is next completed. The additionally promoted data, known to be required by other work requests in the queue, is thus certain to be accessed before subsequent migration. The priority completed requests include those requests added to the queue after the span of data was promoted. Thus, the number of device accesses is further reduced by priority completing those requests entering the queue which by coincidence also require access to the additionally promoted data.
